...SMALL ROW developed during the bomb scare which involved me and gave cause for reflection. After boarding the plane in Denver, I had put the book I was carrying, The Quotations of Chairman Mao, Peking Press, in the seat pocket in front of me. When the announcement came over the loudspeaker to evacuate the plane, I left without the book. An hour and a half later, while the luggage was being searched, an FBI agent approached...
...enemy. I've gotten a pretty good neo-revisionist view of history but deep down inside I know that all the explanations, rising gentry, angry aristocracy, outmoded government is just froth.

Four Chinese peasants in Kweiyang Commune 18 miles north of Hong Kong were condemned to a total of 50 years of "labor reform" last week for showing disrespect for Chairman Mao Tsetung.

No further direct contacts between the two powers took place until U.S. Ambassador to Poland Walter Stoessel, a veteran Foreign Service officer, chatted with a Chinese diplomat at a Warsaw reception six weeks ago. Later, he talked for an hour with Chargé d'Affaires Lei Yang at the Chinese embassy...
Astroflash, a New York computer programmed for astrological horoscopes, issued its forecasts for 1970. Richard Nixon will face-and win-a conflict with "a father-figure, some person of authority." Mao Tse-tung is warned to "beware of unleashing vital forces you might have trouble controlling." After an unsuccessful brush with passion, Gamal Abdel Nasser will "see a dream come true. You will assert yourself, push forward and conquer." No word on Israel's Golda Meir...
